KUALA LUMPUR: The Kedah and Penang state governments should come to an agreement immediately on the issue of raw water charges – a dispute that has been going on since 2010, says Consumers Association of Kedah (CAKE) secretary Mohd Yusrizal Yusoff.

“Although the issue is quite complex, as both parties have their own stand and views, a win-win situation between the two states can be achieved if the welfare of the people is given priority, ” he said.
